Chief Executive Officer

No leadership position has a greater impact on an organization’s success than the chief executive officer. Regardless of whether a new CEO is appointed from inside the organization or from the outside, the profile of the new chief executive officer should be a function of the specific impact the board wants the next CEO to have on the business and the skills it will take to accomplish that.

We provide advice, counsel and coaching for long-term succession planning, medium-term orderly CEO succession and emergency search for companies in crisis. Whatever the scenario, the health of the organization and the way it is regarded by investors and other key stakeholders depends largely on the experience, track record and leadership qualities of the CEO.

We are committed to your success.

Since 2009, we have conducted nearly 1,500 CEO search and succession assignments globally. Drawing on groundbreaking research on the performance of internal and external CEO candidates, our consultants are well-prepared to help boards navigate important issues surrounding CEO selection.
